Relax? I don't.
15. There's a person who's teasing you; what could you do?

Simply tell them by word or action, as has been proven.

Going back over the charred ruins of my temple to see if there was anyone I could save and finding I was too late.

I was described once as completely lacking in a sense of humour.

1. Your character is being announced at the Royal Ball by the most pompous, enthusiastic and long-winded Master of Ceremonies in recorded history. What do they declaim?

I have no home, should the world be on fire then I suspect we have bigger worries.
7. Your character was abducted by Nightmares (or local equivalent) on the way out of the Arms, and wakes up in a sack (just as armed as they left the pub). What do they have in their pockets, and what one further thing do they wish they had also picked up from home this morning?
I sincerely wish I had a crossbow.

The first time they lost a comrade. Another occasion on which they nearly died. A time they lowered their standards. A time they abandoned hope. Something that terrified them
To be added
9. Your character wakes up in a Militia cell with no clear memories of their last few hours. Given time to think it over, why will they conclude they are there?
I suspect I may have hit someone or killed someone deserving of it.
10. Your character was obliged to leave town. As they fled, they left messages with a trusted friend. Most of them dealt with religious and social obligations, and put in place provision for their return (or otherwise) - but they found time for one quick personal note. Who is it to, and roughly what does it say?

Either one involves shouting "By my Ultimate Faith!"

We didn't hide them, the funeral rites were performed over them and they were buried respectfully in the hope that some god would forgive their sins

Die in the Service of the temple
* Following a lost bet during a particularly raucous evening, your character is obliged to get a tattoo of something, the following morning. What image or phrase do they pick, and optionally, why?
Traditionally one does not choose this sort of tattoo. as such it would likely be somethign terrible. In all honesty I cannot see myself getting into this situation

I do not hide anything
